Report: Materazzi discloses his World Cup insult

MILAN, Italy -- Italy defender Marco Materazzi finally
disclosed what he said to Zinedine Zidane in the World Cup final
that provoked the French star to retaliate with a head-butt.

"I prefer the whore that is your sister," Materazzi said
during an interview in next week's edition of Italian magazine TV
Sorrisi E Canzoni, according to Italian news reports Saturday. He
previously acknowledged he had insulted Zidane's sister.

Zidane head-butted Materazzi in the chest with 10 minutes left
in last year's final. He was sent off for violent conduct, ending
his stellar career with a red card.

Italy went on to win the game in a penalty-kick shootout after
the score was 1-1 after extra time.

Materazzi, who received a two-game ban for incitement, has since apologized to Zidane.
